Note: Research Notes
(transferred to MCI for analysis July 2009)
Note: Condition Review
Missing over half of the proper right foot. No corrosion
Note: Follow-up Notes
Special. Would be excellent object for SEM analysis as there is a fresh break edge on the foot- which may help determine whether the foot was hammered or left as cast.
